It should be noted that our data has been obtained under an arrangement with Statistics Canada that precludes the posting of the data.

The data used in our study used combined information of the following surveys of Statistics Canada: the biannual Census of Trusteed Pension Funds (TPF) and the annual Pensions Plans in Canada (PPIC) survey.
Access was granted under an exclusive use contract, and we had to work with the data on the premises of Statistics Canada in Ottawa.
